The introductory course is a two day course. The course starts on the training slope, where you have an introductory lecture on how a paraglider works, aerofoil, safety checks etc.. This is where you start to learn to paraglide. The instructor will demonstrate how to pull the glider up. Then it is the students turn to pull up the glider with assistance by the instructor. You then start running down the slope, learning to steer the paraglider and how to stop.

This process is repeated while slowly moving up the slope each time until you get your feet off the ground. Once the student has mastered steering and landing, he or she is ready to go for a higher flight.

NB: This course is only an introduction and by no means should one attempt to fly without an instructor until you have completed the full license course

The full license course or basic license course:

The course involves all that is done in the introductory course. The student completes a number of high flights with the aim of refining turning skills and making sure landings are completed properly. Students are on radio with the instructor/s. Thereafter the student progresses onto more advanced paragliding such as ridge soaring, top landing, etc. The student remains on radio with the instructor. All theory is covered during the course.
